They are Rockwell based and will take up to 16 modems in a 3RU box. They use one switchmode power supply for each bank of eight modems. We are 240 VAC down here so I am making a rash assumption that they are auto/jumper/switchable for 110 VAC. We have found them extremely reliable and reasonably priced. One other bonus is that they are remote resetable by dropping DTR for 30 seconds. I dont know if it is viable to import them from Australia but if you are interested check out their website at http://www.vcc.com.au/ Cheers Rob Secombe Teksupport Pty.
